Same for the rears, got loads of pin type wheels, so will run the optional cone washer and spacer for the time being.
Neil,

Have you enlarged the Schumacher wheels yet?

Got your PM, that would be cool. I'll confirm tomorrow if that's ok, just got an issue on the car I'm trying to get to the bottom of.

Mike

Why not just machine the front axle to take the b4 bearings?

Hi Mike, not a problem, just let me know what you want to do.

Not going to enlarge the wheels as at least then I can swap between the two cars.

Mark, havnt had the chance to measure up yet, but if I'm going to trim down the axel in the lathe then its just as easy to make new axels, and then I have them for the Durango wheels if I so wish. I imagine that the axel diameter on the AE types is smaller as the axel is steel and the Durango is alloy, but only assuming.

rough measurment durango is 5mm )going by bearing size) associated is 4.75mm, i plan on getting a spare set of axles and machining them (my associated ones are alloy)

Hi Mark, nice one for measuring up.

Since AE changed to steel from alloy for their axels, I am going to make a set up in either chromoly or stainless. Could do them ti but I reckon steel will be more than up to the job.

Durango have probably used 7000 or 6000 series aluminium up to T6 so imagine they are strong enough, let us know how they hold up Mark, when the spares get released

Depends on the weather. Will probably run the 210, waiting on some shiny bits for the 410

Hi chaps, I have got some New tyres and rims for my 210 that is coming next week. And got some Cut Stagger ribs, how have people mounted them on there 210 wheels.

Im mainly racing at Torch-High grip astro

I have heard so many way on mounting them, and inserts or no inserts. Anyone care to tell me more on that stuff. Sorry-Never run a 2WD mainly a 4WD person, so have no clue! cheers fellas!

Personally i have cut the wheels down so the staggers fit properly as i found the front wheels too wide to stretch the tyres across, didn't have this issue with mini spikes though
No inserts for me

Yeah I have 1 wide 1 narrow on the rim. The narrow one seems to have a better profile from what I can tell.
